Song Notes:
The lyrics manage to convey complex themes of love and entrapment. It deals with aspects of Kurt's relationship with Courtney and his addiction to her and heroin.
According to Kurt's uncle by marriage (Larry Smith) the line: 'Forever in debt to your priceless advice' was used by Kurt, when he was arguing with Larry's sister, which really pissed her of.


Song Lyrics:
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back

Hey - wait
I've got a new conplaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey - wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your prieless advice
Hey - wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Going blind

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

Hey - wait
I've got a new conplaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey - wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your prieless advice
Hey - wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Going blind

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for a week
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back

Hey - wait
I've got a new conplaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey - wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your prieless advice
Hey - wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Going blind (x3)
